2026Analysis When reviewing the trial court’s denial of a motion for new trial based on juror misconduct, we accept a trial court’s factual findings and credibility determinations, including as to whether misconduct occurred, “if they are supported by substantial evidence.” (People v. Dykes (2009) 46 Cal.4th 731, 809 ; People v. Tafoya (2007) 42 Cal.4th 147 , 194–195 [finding that substantial evidence supported trial court’s finding that no misconduct occurred].) The trial court properly denied the motion for a new trial because Kessee failed to present credible evidence of any juror misconduct.

2023(Pierce, at p. 574.) 14 IV Cumulative Prejudice Defendant also claims the cumulative prejudicial effect of the foregoing assertions of error requires reversal. “[A] series of trial errors, though independently harmless, may in some circumstances rise by accretion to the level of reversible and prejudicial error.” (People v. Hill (1998) 17 Cal.4th 800, 844 .) As we have explained, except for defendant’s first assertion of error, requiring reversal of count two, each of the remaining assertions of trial error is either waived or forfeited, and the latter two are also harmless.
